So about 8 months ago when my son was born I decided to start a vintage card collection for him and bought a pretty nicely graded 1960 Mantle to kick things off. Knew nothing about the current landscape of the industry, trimming, grading controversy, etc. like I do now and naively dove right in. Bought the card from this seller, fine transaction and nice looking card, but since have read nothing but really shady stuff about him and his business. Makes me really regret my rookie mistake cause every time I look at that card I wonder if it’s been altered instead of enjoying it. Guess I’ll never know for sure but lesson learned that in this hobby it’s all about feeling good about what you buy (and who you buy from) not just the end product in your hands!

He has 14500 positive eBay feedbacks in the last month and 6 negative ones. Yet in this board he is the second coming of Satan. Kind of an odd disconnect, no?

He has 668,000 documented transactions and a 99.9% eBay positive feedback. What exactly should eBay do with him?
I’ve never had an issue with him.

You can always post it here and get our opinion on the card. Just a thought.

That's exactly what I will do when I get a questionable card. This is the place for the best in the business. It takes a true card geek to know what's what.
